I know love’s real,
for I have felt it in my bones
the way cold air finds my lungs
and music finds my memories—
certainly and entirely. . . .

So I’ll never stop waiting for Christmas.
Every day I’ll rise with the sun
and pray that today it will be Christmas again,
that today will be a day when you are here,
when you are near me,
when the blanket is ripped away to reveal the light
and my smile lines have reason to bow again. . . .
